Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Long left, Liang Wenyu asked Liang Donglou:

"Dad, you just gave him the notebook?"

"How can you give it to him? Shouldn't you let him take it back and copy it?" Liang Donglou glared at his son. "Besides, you don't want to learn it, so why not give it to him? It will be useful at least."

Speaking of preciousness, Liang Wenyu really knew how precious the notebook was. It contained records of very useful prescriptions and experiences that Liang Donglou had encountered since he started studying medicine.

But he refused to learn. When Liang Donglou asked him to memorize the Tangtou Song when he was young, Liang Wenyu gave up after a few days, clamoring to go to school with other children.

And then nothing happened.

Liang Donglou did not force his children to study medicine, but he lamented from time to time that his medical skills would not be passed on.

Fortunately, after Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei got married, she studied with him for a while and also worked as a barefoot doctor for a while.

But later, Li Jianguo had his own children. With more children, he had less time to study medicine.

Having failed to pass on his medical skills twice, Liang Donglou became somewhat discouraged and stopped trying to force anything.

Today Li Long came over specifically to ask for advice, so he simply took out the notebook and let him copy it.

Even if one or two of the recipes can be passed on and become useful, that would be fine.

Of course, he also knew that Li Long was not cut out for studying Chinese medicine. His mind was too active and he couldn't concentrate.

If you really want to learn Chinese medicine from him, you have to be able to calm down and lay a solid foundation when your children are young.

When you grow up and become more active, you learn to be lazy. Then when you study again, you will be impatient for quick results and it will be difficult to lay a solid foundation.

Liang Donglou originally wanted to see if there was anything the third generation could learn, but now everyone attaches importance to cultural and scientific education, and the tradition of studying medicine when one was young has disappeared or is no longer recognized by everyone.

In order to make a living, he no longer cared about this aspect.

As for the notes, it doesn’t matter whether Li Long takes them back or not.

He looked at the bones on the table and found that they were indeed tiger bones.

Liang Wenyu and Chen Xiuzhu also looked at the two bones.

"Don't tell anyone else." Liang Donglou took the bone and went into the inner room.

Liang Wenyu wanted to say something, but her mother Chen Xiuzhu reminded her again:
"Don't tell anyone when you go out, it will bring trouble."

Liang Wenyu felt a little aggrieved. Why were they all talking about herself? Was she so unreliable?
Liang Donglou put the tiger bones away, planning to prepare them in the next two days and then get some wine to soak them.

Although Li Long took the notes, Liang Donglou remembered the recipe and the preparation method.

Li Long took his notes and got in the jeep and hurried back. Halfway through, when he saw the woodworking factory, he remembered that he had other things to do.

He drove a jeep into the woodworking factory. It was almost time to get off work. The workers were curious when they saw the jeep coming in, but they didn't dare to approach it.

Factory Director He Changming saw a jeep coming in from his office and hurried over. Those who could ride in the jeep were leaders, so he dared not neglect them.

Li Long got out of the jeep and He Changming was stunned for a moment.

"Hello, Director He." Li Long went over and took the initiative to say hello. "I'm Li Long, who bought furniture from you a few days ago."

"Hello, Comrade Li Long." He Changming shook Li Long's hand, pointed at the jeep and asked, "This is..."

"Oh, this is our state agency's car. The state agency leader assigned me a mission. Because it takes a long time and I have to travel to many places, they let me use this car first."

"State Society?" He Changming was a little confused and didn't understand.

"State Supply and Marketing Cooperative." Li Long explained.

"Oh, I see. I see." The woodworking factory is quite prosperous these days, but compared to the giant supply and marketing cooperative, it is still not good enough.

Li Long must be someone extraordinary, as the leader of the state supply and marketing cooperative could send him a jeep to do business. He Changming politely invited Li Long to the factory director's office to discuss matters.

Li Long followed.

After entering the office, He Changming poured tea for Li Long and then asked him what specific things he wanted to do.

"I want to order a batch of furniture." Li Long said, "I wonder if Director He can do it."

"What furniture?" He Changming didn't dare to agree immediately.

"It's the same one I bought last time." Li Long took out a note written in pencil and handed it to He Changming.

He Changming took a look, then looked up at Li Long.

"They are all in Kazakh ethnic style," Li Long added, "and it's best to use the same ingredients as last time."

"This..." He Changming felt a little embarrassed. The old master who could make this kind of furniture in the factory, that is, his master, had retired, and he was the only one who could do it.

I wanted to refuse. Firstly, Li Long came here in a jeep and it would be hard to offend him. Secondly, there were a lot of these things and if I really made them, even if I paid the same price as last time, I would still make a lot of money.

Although the furniture factory is booming, furniture sales are currently sporadic. This is the first time this year that Li Long has received such a large order.

"It can be done." After weighing the pros and cons, He Changming felt that he couldn't push it away. He said, "But it may take a long time. It won't be finished before the end of the year."

"Sure." As long as I can do it, it's fine. "How long after that year?"

He Changming thought for a moment and said, "Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Okay." Li Long took out a stack of big unity and said, "I'll leave a deposit of 100 yuan. Is that enough? I'm currently connected with the county supply and marketing cooperative. You can call Li Xiangqian, the head of the purchasing department, to verify it."

These days, fraud has not occurred in northern Xinjiang, or rather, it has occurred but has not spread widely.

He Changming no longer doubted Li Long's identity since he could drive a jeep to place an order. This car was not something that ordinary people could get.

Now that Li Long has paid the deposit, he feels more at ease.

He did not take the money directly, but called the finance department to issue a formal receipt, which indicated the type and quantity of furniture, as well as the delivery time.

"Comrade Li Long, are these furniture gifts for ethnic comrades?"

"Yes." Li Long smiled, "Director He is an expert."

"Well, and you smell like sheep." Li Long paid the deposit, and the matter was basically settled. He Changming naturally said, "I feel like you must have come from the mountains. You must have slaughtered a lot of sheep these days, right?"

"Well, we just delivered fifty fat sheep to the relevant units today." Li Long told the truth.

"Well... do you have any mutton left? I want to get a few to distribute to the factory employees before the New Year." As the factory director, He Changming had to consider this aspect.

Li Long said in embarrassment:
"It's definitely not easy to get sheep. As you know, after the animal husbandry team was established, the herdsmen had to hand over a batch of fat sheep to the animal husbandry team first. It's very difficult to get these sheep... I have a lot of sheep offal, do you want any? Oh, and do you want wolf meat?"

"Sheep offal... that's fine. And wolf meat?" He Changming was also a little surprised. "Wolf meat isn't very tasty, is it?"

"It's definitely not as delicious as mutton." Li Long smiled, "But it's cheap and comes in large quantities."

"Then..." He Changming thought for a moment and said, "How about giving me twenty sets of sheep offal?"

There are less than twenty people in the factory in total, so he will naturally be lenient with them. He also needs to protect the relatives and friends in the forestry team.

"Okay," Li Long smiled, "They are all the offal from fat sheep, with fat, intestines and stomachs. They are thawed and you can simply wash them and eat them."

"Okay, the price..." He Changming said, "Our factory is not big, and the profit is not much, this..."

"I know." Li Long smiled and said, "A set of offal weighs six or seven kilograms. The current market price of mutton is 1.7 yuan. I will definitely not charge the price of offal according to the meat price, but in fact it is all meat, without any bones. How about this, 8 yuan for a set of offal?"

The offal is all meat, there is no problem with that.

If you calculate it this way, it's more cost-effective to buy offal than mutton.

Of course offal tastes like offal and meat tastes like meat, and offal certainly cannot be sold at the price of meat.

According to this calculation, a set of offal costs only about one or two yuan per kilogram, which is really not expensive.

He Changming agreed.

"I'll deliver it to you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You don't have to pay me. I'll deduct it from the furniture payment. Is that ok?"

"Of course there is no problem." He Changming was happy. Although this was a bit against financial regulations, there were so many non-compliant things these days that this was not a big deal.

After the matter was settled, Li Long went out and drove away in his jeep. He Changming saw him off to the door, and Qi Xinzhi, who had heard the news, came over.

"Director, is this the day when..."

"Yes, real people don't show their faces. People from the state supply and marketing cooperative must be favorites of the leaders, otherwise they wouldn't be able to drive this jeep." He Changming still rides a bicycle to and from get off work, and most people in the factory don't even have bicycles.

The woodworking factory was on the outskirts of the county. Li Long came out of the factory and drove his jeep back to the big yard.

Sister Yang had returned and was cooking. After Han Fang opened the door for Li Long, she went about her own business.

After filling the jeep with water, Li Long took the notebook and went into the house to study it.

The notebook is quite old. Although it seems to be well preserved, the paper is a bit brittle and has become frayed due to frequent reading. Some parts have been glued together and the content has been rewritten with a brush.

Some of the content had been added or deleted. Li Long took a look and found that it was mainly some prescriptions, some of which were explained.

He could see that most of the explanations were still about the medicinal materials in the prescriptions. Some of the medicinal materials in northern Xinjiang were the same as some in the mainland, but their medicinal properties were slightly different.

The additions and deletions mainly involve the increase and decrease in the quantity of medicinal materials.

It can be seen that Mr. Liang always carried this notebook with him, and he did not stop compiling it after arriving in Northern Xinjiang. Although it is called a notebook, it is actually a small medical book.

Li Long searched around the house but couldn't find anything suitable. He looked at the time and realized it was already time to get off work, so he had to wrap the notebook in newspaper, put a sanitary ball on the side, and put it in the cabinet.

I'll do it after I buy a new laptop and finish other things.

But he had already seen the preparation method of deer placenta. This thing is much simpler to use than tiger bones. Wash it, scrub it clean, slice it, dry it, grind it into powder, and take it directly.

This is not a deer fetus, but a placenta, so it is easy to use.

As for deer placenta, it is usually boiled into deer placenta paste. Li Long can't get that thing at the moment, and he doesn't really want to get it.

It was almost time for dinner, so he gave up the idea of ​​making deer placenta powder and decided to wait until he finished the work at hand and had some free time before doing it.

There's no rush anyway.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Long went out to pick up Gu Xiaoxia.

I didn’t meet Gu Boyuan this time, and I don’t know if the agricultural supply store was still busy.

The weather was getting colder, and pedestrians were in a hurry on the road. Occasionally, you could see cyclists slipping. Li Long felt that it was a wise choice to let Gu Xiaoxia walk and pick her up himself.

When they were halfway there, they saw Gu Xiaoxia carrying her bag and walking slowly back along the roadside. When she saw Li Long, she waved at him.

Li Long walked over to her, took her bag, and the two walked back side by side.

"Are you tired today?"

"I'm not tired. There's not much to do right now." Gu Xiaoxia said, "Although it's already January, I feel like the official new year work doesn't start until after the Chinese New Year. Everyone in the office is discussing preparations for the New Year when they have nothing to do."

Li Long smiled and asked:

"What are you discussing buying?"

"Mostly it's meat." Gu Xiaoxia walked slowly with Li Long, saying as they walked, "There are also frozen goods and so on. Hehe, I just listened and didn't say anything. If they asked me, I couldn't explain clearly. Anyway, you are the one who made it. They envy me so much!"

Li Long smiled and said, "People in my unit also envy me."

"What do I envy you for?" Gu Xiaoxia asked with a smile.

"I envy you for marrying a beautiful and gentle wife."

"Hehe, you must be teasing me!" Gu Xiaoxia didn't expect Li Long to say such a thing, and she blushed and lowered her head.

A few minutes after the two returned to the compound, Gu Boyuan also came over.

Li Long packed some peeled crucian carps and put them outside, and told Gu Boyuan to take them back when he left.

Gu Boyuan happily agreed. He liked eating this when he was on the team, but he was not good at catching fish.

It's really nice to be able to eat here.

After dinner, Gu Boyuan went back home, and Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia came into the room. He told them about his plans for tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning we will drive a tractor into the mountains to pull back the sheep's offal and the wolves, and also to see the results of the wolf hunting efforts of the people in the mountains.

After breakfast the next day, Li Long sent Gu Xiaoxia to work as usual, then came back, started the tractor, got dressed, and drove into the mountains.

It hasn't snowed in the past two days, and the road from Wuyi Highway to Qingshui River has been widened a bit, and there are slightly more people seen on the road.

It's just a little more than before, but actually still very little.

After crossing the Qingshui River and continuing south, there were no other tire tracks on the road into the mountains except those made by his and the pastoral team's tractors.

There were only a few individual footprints, probably from those who went hunting and collecting wood in the mountains.

When the tractor arrived at Halimu's winter home, Halimu's family came out.

There was no one else, everyone else had already left.

After all, the big things were done, and everyone had to go back home and herd cattle and sheep.

After saying hello to Halimu's family, Li Long entered the winter den.

As he sat down to drink his milk tea, he asked:
"Halimu, how many wolves did you kill the night before last?"

"Sixteen!" Li Long was shocked by the number Halimu reported.

"Sixteen? How big was the pack of wolves that attacked you that day?"

"Haha, it's not just us. The winter den of Yushanjiang has also been attacked by wolves!"

It turned out that night, when a large group of wolves were attacking Halimu's winter den, preparing to take revenge and harvest a group of sheep for food, another pack of wolves also went to sneak attack Yushanjiang's winter den.

Fortunately, there were two young men with guns left there. Although these two young men had little experience, they had seen a lot from the old lady Sana. He and Yushanjiang's wife asked for two rifles, rushed out of the winter den when the wolves rushed towards the sheepfold, and shot at the wolves.

That night alone, they killed four wolves in their winter den at Yushan River.

The remaining wolves never expected to be counterattacked so openly, and they fled madly into the woods.

Yesterday morning two young men dragged four wolves here, and one gun was left behind.

Yushanjiang was also startled, fortunately there were two guns left there.

Those who were armed with guns also rushed back to their winter dens, mainly because they were afraid that the wolves would go crazy and attack their winter dens. Now there were basically no guns in the winter dens, which would be quite troublesome.

At Halimu's winter den, that night, as soon as the wolf king showed his head, Yushanjiang and his men opened fire.

The wolf king was hit by three bullets in total.

After Yushanjiang shouted to shoot, the young and strong men knocked down five or six wolves in the first time. Some of the remaining wolves tried to escape, while some were stupider and did not hear the wolf king's order. They were still rushing forward or hesitating, and some of them fell down in the second round of shooting.

There were really only three or four wolves that escaped.

"In the past few days, most of the wolves in this area have been killed." Halimu said, "I didn't hear any wolves howling nearby last night. Even if they were not killed, they must have been scared."

Halimu spoke very calmly, but Li Long could imagine the danger involved.

Especially in Yushanjiang Dongwozi, if we hadn't left two guns there, we would have been in big trouble.

Many cattle and sheep will be bitten to death, and there may even be casualties among people.

This is the wolf disaster!

Fortunately, they had guns, and the wolf disaster for humans turned into a disaster for the wolf pack.

I guess the remaining wolves will never think of taking advantage of these two winter dens in their entire lives, right?

Next, Li Long saw the wolf king that was shot dead by three people.

This wolf king is 30 to 40 centimeters longer than other wolves. An ordinary gray wolf weighs 40 to 50 kilograms, but this wolf king weighs at least 70 kilograms!
If it really comes to a one-on-one fight, ordinary people are no match for this wolf king!

His eyes were still open, and it seemed that the wolf king also felt that his death was unjust.

What does it feel like to be stared at by three rifles?
There is no way to escape!
These sixteen wolves, plus the few remaining wolves, might not be able to be pulled by Li Long's tractor, after all, there are still so many sheep in the water.

The wolves had already been skinned and gutted, and Halimu and the others showed these trophies to Li Long.

Even Nathan looked proud.

The descendants of herdsmen are also obsessed with defeating wolves! (End of this chapter)
